Clicked wrong last night so this part didn't go through on the 2nd email
Windows Vista and 7 don't have a default font per se they have a
system font. Which is Segoe UI 9 pt. Most Theme packs might change
individual font settings (i.e. Active Title Bar) however the System
Font will remain Segoe UI 9 pt.
A couple ways to change it is in the registry you can set Segoe UI to
Tahama or you can delete Segoe and rename Times New Roman - Segoe but
in both cases, the system font is still Segue UI 9pt (they are just
hacks)
